While it's true that most rekkids are made out of vinyl, I've also
come across a handfull of 'polystyrene' pressings. 'Styrene records
can be identified by their flat, instead of sharp, edges, and molded
'labels'. They're also notorious for getting really, really hissy
after a few plays. I don't know offhand if any companies ever made
'styrene, or if they're all the ones I saw were just boots, though. 

It would also be a shame to forget plexi-discs! I have no idea what
they're made of, or who came up with the idea to put sheets of plastic
on a turntable, but I'll die before one gets close to my stylus! I
tried to play one I got from McDonald's on my dad's turntable when I
was a little kid, and he just about strangled me. I guess that's where
I get my obsessive record care-streak from. 

Whoever mentioned using photo-flo--that's a great idea, as that stuff
is designed to help film dry without any water spots. Do any bompers
have one of those outrageously expensive vaccum record cleaning devices?

On an entirely unrelated note, are any other bompers gonna be at the
Carbondale Pootinanny show, besides Kyle C. & I? It's about time a
decent band comes to this frat-hole! :-)
